surrection Instigated Among
the Breeds.


Dumont, after his starring tour
through the United States with the
Wild West Show, made straight for
Montana, and is now engaged in the
for him congenial pursuit Of stirring
up trouble among the half.breeas, of
which there are great many in Mon.
tana. Dumont is turning his whole
attention to collecting money and
arms, aud he seems to have been fairly
successful. One method of raising
money is by the sale of his photographs
and for which he get two dollars
apiece.
He has l,400 rifles and good
amount Of money collected. He has
received a great deal of financial aid
from Lower Canada and French Ca
nadians in Montana are lending him
helping hand.
Dumont was at Augusta when Mr..
Nelson left, aud was being very close.
ly shadowed by u Canadian detective,
Mr.. Nelson was in two big camps of
half.breeds. aud found them right Oh
the war path, aud eager and ready TO
start whenever DumoDt gives the
word. Mr.. Nelson's chief informant
was hslf.breed who WAS IN the battle
ut BatOche, aud he saw enough hin-
self to convince him that they meant
mischief of some kind.
The programme would seem to be as
follows: As soon AS the grass Is good
next spring, the breeds, headed by
Dumont, will move on the Canadian
frontier. Dumont reckons on the as
sistance of the Crees iu the north. and
claims that, with them he will have
about 500 men. His present lnten.
ton is to come into the country to the
eastward of Wood Mountain, going
north to the scene Of the operations in
1885.
1t is the pretty general opinion in
Montana that the raid will be made.
The breeds are all ready to start at q
word from Dumont, and at presen,
they have the strongest intention oI
coming.
The object for making the raid is no,
at all apparent. The breeds do nJ'
seem to think that they can do any
thing very much. Their only object
so far as IL can be discovered, Is TO gel
revenge on the Canadian government
and they probably think that there
may be little plumber connected
with the undertaking,-McLeod Ga

business.
"But the opposite process il Low at

The next step is 10 do without meat at

The Minneapolis Exposition Of 1857

yet done. The enterprise has been q
brilliant success from the outset, but

Falls of st Anthony. The president
lie credited with a desire to become
more familiar with the west. He GER
tainly will find no more favorable op.
portunity OF learning about western
people aud western energies than the
Minneapolis exposition will afford.
A large part Of the Northwest will be
here TO do him honor.
There 10 an excellent prospect for q
considerably greater and more varied
exhibition this year than last. The
results last year were so pronounced
and have become so widely known
that there has been a rush for space
from all parts Of the country aud from
every sort tofindustrial occupation. Tn,
exhibition will undoubtedly be very
interesting and valuable. One of the
most unique features will be the Sean
dinavian Art Department. A good
representation of Norwegian, Swedish
and Danish arts has already been Sc
cured, and further shipments are con-
fidently expected. This will be OF
great interest, not only to our fellow
citizens Of Scandinavian blood, but to
the whole body Of visitors.

will meet In Minneapolis next October.

A Ely lnyeDtion.

A bald-hesded barber has struck an
idea which threatens To make a mill
ionaire Of him. While awaiting cus-
TONERS he fell into the habit Of watch
ing his tormentors-the flies. He
noticed that fly always walked up
ward. Put fly on window and up
be goes toward the top; he can't be
made 10 walk downward. so the bar
Der hit upon an idea. Why not use
the habit against them? Forthwith
he made window screen divided in
halt. The upper half Tapped over the
lower, with AN inch Of space between.
Well, as soon as fly would light on
the screen he would proceed to trave,
upward, and would thus walk straight
outdoors. On reaching thetop OF the
lower half he would be outside. Not
being able to walk down he had no
way to return to the room. By this
means room can be quickly cleared
Of flies, which always seek the light.

piled for a patent, and promises 10

Labor miners who went out on the Timber
line strike. During the winter. while the
Northern Pacific was occasionally hard up
for coal, it would take q carload OF two
off of Hodson's side-track without asking
his leave. Owing to the old row between
the Timherline miners and the Northern
Pacific those OF the former in Hodson's en-
ploy struck work because the Northern
Pacific got hold of some of the coal they
were mining. Hodson promptly paid them
off, put new men in their places and re-
fused to re-employ the strikers, though
some OF them asked to be taken back.
